Steepest descent method

It solves an optimization problem by steepest descent method.

You are now following this Submission

The script steepestdescent.m optimizes a general multi variable real valued function using steepest descent method. During the iterations if optimum step length is not possible then it takes a fixed step length as 0.001. For the theory any good book on optimization techniques can be consulted. This script is also useful in checking whether a given function is convex or concave and hence globally optimizable.
